I’m currently on a career break and slow travelling around SE Asia, starting with Malaysia with a flexible route. I’m from England and have lived in London for the past 10 years, and moved around before that (Manchester-midWales-Belfast-Liverpool-China). I have worked in education development roles, most recently in the charity sector supporting and advocating for improved working conditions in schools, influencing government and the sector. I’m vegetarian 🌱 and love animals and the outdoors - would love to volunteer with schools, animals or sustainable projects while I’m away. I also have a dog back home who I miss all the time so if you’ve got a pet then I’d love to say hi!

Música, películas y libros

I love live music and can be convinced to go and see anything. I have a growing and diverse record collection and tend to pick a new record up from cities I visit as my personal memorabilia. I studied English, Drama and later Writing so I love talking about arts and would always be happy to go to a gig, a play, a reading, or an open mic.

Algo increíble que he hecho

My family are big walkers and I’ve always loved being out in the hills. Together with my brothers I completed the UK national 3 peaks challenge in 23 hours. With friends I once walked 46 miles across Wales - in one day! And most recently I solo trekked for four days on the very sandy Rota Vincentina.
